A very hands-on approach to meeting the animals you see long distance at the zoo.
When you purchase your tickets you will have the option to purchase feed buckets as well. $3/ea or 4/$10. The buckets are approx 1/2 gallon and filled full with feed.
You being with the drive through experience. You pass over a cattle grate onto a gravel road that leads you past a few enclosures for animals on special diets that you are unable to feed. Here you will see kangaroos and may hear a kookaburra. You may also be greeted by some of the free ranging animals; pigs, axis deer and other park residents.
As you drive through the park you are greeted (enthusiastically, if it isn't too hot) by an assortment of animals: blackbuck, sika deer, fallow deer, waterbuck, oryx, axis deer, addax, nilai, elands, and much more!
Word of warning: the ostriches are very friendly and may frighten small children, as they seemed more than willing to stick their heads into the vehicle.
The llamas and the antelope and deer are very gentle and easy to feed.
The camels are easiest to feed on your way out (and will eat as much as you will let them) and are quite capable of taking the bucket from your hands, so hold on tight!
When you enter the walk through portion of the zoo there are free ranging peacocks and chickens. There are monkeys in enclosures, a hyena, tortoise, a reticulated giraffe that you can feed carrots ($1/4 pieces of carrot), goats, lambs, a young camel this trip, llamas, and other petting zoo type animals. You can buy additional feed near the giraffe, or use what you have left from the drive.
There is also a gift shop, food, and restrooms at the walk-through area.
According to their website:
